Immune cells, such as macrophages, B cells, neutrophils and T cell subsets, have been implicated in the context of obesity. However, the specific role of Th2 cells in adipose tissue function has remained elusive. Eight-week-old male CD3ε mice were randomly divided into two groups (≥ 5 mice per group...
